These berries contain a true magic bullet: ellagitannin,
a compound shown in lab tests to stop the growth of
tumors! No wonder a study of 1,000-plus people found
those who ate the most strawberries were three times less
likely to develop cancer than those who ate none. Plus,
vitamin C in the berries energizes infection-fighting white
blood cells- and counteracts the health-sapping effects
of stress!

Gluten-free Emergency Preparedness
Emergencies and disasters occur every day
around the world and effect millions every year. This is a fact of life
that cannot be changed or predicted.
Recently the Waldo Canyon wildfire in Colorado Springs, Colorado temporarily displaced 32,000 people and destroyed 346 homes.
Many of the evacuees in this disaster require or choose a gluten-free diet but did not have access to these foods in the evacuation and relief centers. Logistically it is not feasible for disaster relief agencies to accommodate for each individual's dietary needs.
Are you prepared for an emergency with the gluten-free foods you need to survive? If you are not, you aren't alone. For so many with a gluten-free diet this hasn't been a realistic option until recently.
We have found a few great resources to help get you started in building your family's gluten-free emergency kit.
The first of these are the "Gluten Free Emergency kits". These kits are produced by Teri's Gluten Free and come in 24 hour, 72, hour, 30 day and one year kits.
Each meal package feed 5-6 people and contains all natural ingredients.
These meals only require water to prepare and are sealed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. Gluten Free Emergency kits have a shelf life of 5 years, unless stored at 68 degrees in a dry and dark area, then 10 year shelf life.
Visit www.glutenfreeemergencykits.com for more information.
The next option is Gluten Free Backpacking and Camping Foods by Trail Foods Express. These are primarily made for camping but have a large variety and are great for smaller families. Most meals contain 2 servings.
Visit www.trailfoodexpress.com for more information.
In addition to these options you may want to pack individually wrapped gluten-free snacks such as, meal bars, fruit snacks and candy bars.
The shelf life of all these products can vary and should be rotated in your emergency kit accordingly.
FEMA recommends that you have emergency supplies ready and packed in a kit for 3 days or more.
It is recommended that have a plan for these three scenarios and review them with your family.
1) For staying in your home. Stock an emergency kit for at least 3 days use.
2) For going to a safe location. Pack a go-bag for at least 3 days use when you need to leave home.
3) For your car. Pack a travel bag for use when you can’t get home.
Make sure EVERYONE knows how to find the emergency kit, go-bag, and travel bag.
Suggestions for your emergency kit.
Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation.
Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable gluten-free food. You may want to avoid cans due to size and weight.

Weekend Master Metabolism Cleanse
A 3-day diet n’ detox to get you back on the slimming track.
It’s August and your resolve is beginning to wane.
You’re having trouble sticking to your diet. You are really frustrated that the scale is not moving southward as quickly and effortlessly as it once did. Maybe you celebrated a little too much for a special occasion or just got back from a “fattening” vacation with an additional 5 – 10 pounds.
You are on the lookout for a safe “emergency” strategy to lose that tummy in a hurry for an upcoming wedding or high school reunion. And you need almost overnight results. You’re not alone—thousands of people have asked me for help with this dilemma, and I have just the fix which has proven to be one of the most popular detox n’ diet programs ever.
I simply combined two of my most successful weight loss plans to come up with a special liquid flush with really fast results! With the Hot Metabolism Cocktail— the superstar formula of my Master Metabolism Cleanse— you’ll be cool as a cucumber while your metabolism heats up with lots of thermogenic spices, green veggies, and tomatoes. You’ll start to see a shrinking waist without sacrificing your health—like so many crash diets do—because you’ll also be consuming plenty of fiber, omega-3-rich oil, fruits, and hypoallergenic protein.
At the core of the plan is my special “cocktail with a kick” that you will be drinking three times per day: morning, noon, and night. The Hot Metabolism Cocktail, due to its high water content, helps you stay filled up and fuller longer while keeping calories low. For lunch and dinner, fruit-flushing smoothies with complimentary weight-regulating ingredients will help give your digestive system a rest while delivering long term appetite satisfaction and hydration.
Here’s what you need to get started:
Hot Metabolism Cocktail
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 large ripe tomato, or 8 ounces V8 or Knudsen’s Very Veggie Juice— for a boost of vitamins C and A, plus a trio of heart-healthy nutrients: potassium, vitamin B, and folate.
½ cup fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice— aids digestion by promoting absorption of protein and minerals, while helping to liquefy fat.
½ cup filtered water (unless using juice)— hydrate to keep kidneys and liver functioning, aiding in efficient elimination.
Handful of fresh parsley— more beta-carotene than carrots, more vitamin C than oranges, and twice as much iron as spinach.
Handful of fresh cilantro— gentle diuretic that helps remove heavy metals, like mercury, from the body.
1 green onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed— stimulates the metabolism, stabilizes blood-sugar levels, and eliminates toxins from the body.
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (or as desired)— rich vitamin E content helps keep the heart healthy and strong, while concentration of capsicum fires up circulation and metabolic rate.
2 teaspoons olive oil— lowers cholesterol levels, maintain a healthy blood pressure and guard against toxins.
½ teaspoon Seaweed Gomasio— high source of quality protein, calcium, iron and a range of amino acids.
½ teaspoon Flora-Key— 5-strain probiotic formula for beneficial bacteria growth and a healthy GI tract.
1 tablespoon chia seeds— 2 times the protein of any other seed/grain, 8 times more omega-3s than salmon, and 3 times the antioxidant strength of blueberries.
6 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a blender until the desired consistency is reached.
Follow this daily menu for two to five days to melt off pounds in a hurry.
Breakfast: Hot Metabolism Cocktail
Lunch: Fat Flush Smoothie (Made from 1 scoop Fat Flush Body Protein, 8-ounces water, 1 cup fresh or frozen berries, 1 tablespoon flaxseed oil, 1 tablespoon flax seeds or chia seeds, and ice cubes, if you choose.)
Snack: Hot Metabolism Cocktail
Dinner: Fat Flush Smoothie
Before bedtime: Hot Metabolism Cocktail
Daily: Consume half your body weight in ounces of water (typically 10-12 8-ounce glasses).
By eliminating wheat, dairy, yeast, and salty, spicy or acidic seasonings you will actually trigger your body to release pounds of unnecessary fluid. Your plateau will be a thing of the past as your body purges accumulated fat and fluid from its tissues.
Think of it— a “revitalized you” is only three days away! And even better, once you resume your regular Fat Flushing diet principles and exercise regimen, you will maintain your slimming results for a summertime beach body that will look fabulous in the latest fall fashions.

Celiac
Disease Linked to Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Read more at: http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-celiac-disease-linked-lymphoproliferative-disorders.html#jCp
Patients
with celiac disease, particularly those presenting with
malabsorption symptoms later in life, have a higher incidence
of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD), according to research
published in the August issue of the American Journal of
Hematology. (HealthDay) Lori A. Leslie, M.D., of
the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, and
colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study involving
1,285 adults with biopsy-proven celiac disease seen at a U.S.
referral center from 1981 to 2010 to determine the incidence
of LPD subtypes and survival according to LPD subtype. The
researchers identified 40 patients who developed LPD,
including 33 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Prior
studies describe an increased incidence of lymphoma in celiac
disease. However, few studies differentiate among
lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). Our aim was to determine
incidences of LPD subtypes in celiac disease patients,
describe patterns of celiac disease presentation in patients
who develop LPD, and compare survival in patients with various
LPD subtypes.
"In the
future, the association between celiac disease and various LPD
subtypes could be further analyzed to identify common
molecules in the inflammatory and lymphoproliferative pathways
as promising targets for drug design," the authors write.
"These findings could then be studied to risk stratify
patients with regard to lymphoma, devise surveillance
protocols, and propose preventative strategies in celiac
disease patients with increased risk of developing
LPD."

Gluten-Free Beer
BISBEE -
After months of trial and error, changing recipes and working
out different processes, the Old Bisbee Brewing Company is
ready to release its first specialty beer, a gluten-free
version of its popular Mountain Lime Lager.
Like a
lot of good ideas, the genesis of the microbrewery's first
specialty beer outside of its original seven beer lineup can
be traced to the company's tap room.
"This is
the greatest place in the world to find out about what we
should be doing," said Victor Winquist, co-owner and
brewmaster of the Old Bisbee Brewing Company. "I don't make
the beers that I prefer, I make the beers that I know our
customers like, through their comments in here."

Savvy
gluten-free travelers always carry crackers, dried fruit, and
nuts in case gluten-free food isn't available but Carol
Fenster, an expert in gluten-free living and author of
Gluten-Free 101, carries additional items to make sure she has
safe food while enroute and at her destination.
Fenster, whose travels have taken her around the world, despite, selects these items so that pass airport-security screenings, are non-perishable, and are substantial enough to make a light meal, if necessary. "There's nothing worse than being away from home and hungry," says Fenster.

"Whether
traveling for business or pleasure, with these items in a
purse or carry-on gluten-free travelers are always prepared
for airport delays, long plane rides, or destinations that
lack gluten-free options."
Here are a few of Carol's
Favorites:
Nut
Butters.
Individual-serving packets of nut butters. Tear one end open and squeeze the packet to distribute the nut butter on apples, carrots, or gluten-free crackers.

Beef
Jerky.
Choose gluten-free versions and carry a few sticks in a plastic, resealable bag. Chewy, filling, yet non-perishable, they can make a small, but high-protein meal.

Oatmeal.
Individual-serving packets of gluten-free rolled oats, in plain or flavored versions. Pour into a paper cup designed for hot beverages, add hot water, and let stand (covered) for a few minutes to reconstitute the oats. Some airport concessions serve ready-to-reconstitute paper cups of oatmeal, but Fenster cautions that these may not be made with gluten-free oats.

Granola.
Whether home-made or store-bought, granola can be eaten as trail mix (just add nuts and candy bits), as a breakfast cereal, or sprinkled on yogurt. Always verify that it is made with gluten-free oats. Carry a small bag to eat enroute, with additional bags in your suitcase to eat throughout the trip.

Bread.
Pack a couple of gluten-free bread slices into a child's sandwich box (the kind shaped like a slice of bread). The rigid sides protect the bread from being crushed as well as keep it fresh longer. The bread can be toasted, used in sandwiches, or eaten with nut butter. If possible, buy a loaf of gluten-free bread at your destination and keeps a couple of slices with you at all times (storing the rest of the bread in a hotel room refrigerator).

Immersion
heater.
Immersion heaters are small coils attached to electrical cords. When plugged in to an electric outlet, the heated coil rapidly heats the water in a cup or bowl. Ideal for use in hotel rooms, the hot water can be used for oatmeal, hot tea, dry soup mixes, or any food item that requires hot water.

Toast-it
bag.
Reusable, plastic bags that allow toasting a slice of bread or a grilled cheese sandwich in a toaster without risk of contamination from residual bread crumbs. The bags are washable and made of a special silicone-treated material that allows the heat to penetrate through to the bread while in the toaster slot, without burning the plastic bag.
